>"Hey there! Welcome to Sugarcube Corner! Hold on a second, I'll get there. Not as energetic as I used to be, teehee."
-
7.
>"Wuzzat? A reporter? On what?"
-
8.
>"...oh. The Elements?"
-
9.
>"Wow, nobody's asked me about that in years."
-
10.
>"Well, come over here. Lemme getcha somethin' sweet and we'll talk all about it!"
-
11.
-
12.
-
13.
>"All right, let's see here."
-
14.
>"Of course you know me. Everyp0ny knows Pinkie Pie! I've been here since probably before you were born!"
-
15.
>"I used to say that I know everyp0ny in Ponyville, but that was a long time ago."
-
16.
>"There's so many new ponies now, and not a lot of them come to Sugarcube Corner anymore."
-
17.
>"Mrs. Cake was soooooo wonderful. I wish I could bake like she used to, but I guess I can't do it quite as well, teehee."
-
18.
>"Oh, right. Sorry. The Elements. Well, I'll tell you what I know."
-
19.
-
20.
>"Rainbow Dash went off to join the Wonderbolts. I was sooooo happy for her! She's the Captain now, of course."
-
21.
>"I see her shows every now and then. They don't come to Ponyville like they used to. So many places to go nowadays. Phillydelphia, Manehatten, Prance. I heard she really wowed the consulate for Saddle Arabia!"
-
22.
>"Me? Oh, she finds some time to see me when she comes to Ponyville. She drops by for a drink and a donut, but she's just as fast as she used to be. WHooosh, Hi Pinks, glad to see ya, well, gotta go, whoooosh!"
-

>"Rarity's got her shops in Canterlot like she wanted. I see her clothes in uptown Ponyville everywhere."
-
25.
>"Her I haven't seen in years. But that's fine, I totally understand. She's a big, fancy fashion hoobydooby. I wouldn't come down here and visit me if I were her, I'd be too much of a distraction."
-
26.
-
27.
>"Fluttershy I see a lot, but we still don't hang out like we used to."
-
28.
>"She's still got her animals, and now that she and Big Mac finally got together, she's got a whole mess of kids and grandkids to take care of."
-
29.
>"She's not at all shy like she used to be, but she's just as gentle as she always was. I actually prank her nowadays! She takes it a lot better than she used to."
-
30.
-
31.
>"Applejack..."
-
32.
>"I'm sorry, it's still hard for me. She was a big loss."
-
33.
>"She was always working so hard, and after the big markets came in from the cities, Sweet Apple Acres couldn't compete as well."
-
34.
>"How could she compete with such variety and speed? We couldn't help her out every day like we did when those con-men came into town."
-
35.
>"She tried so hard, but the farm just couldn't put out the amount of apples she needed."
-
36.
>"I think it's some kind of mall or something these days, I'm not sure. I can't go that way anymore without tearing up."
-
37.
>"She...she worked herself to death trying to keep it. There's no other way to put it."
-
38.
>"And when our friendship finally drifted apart, she was the one to take it hardest."
-
39.
>"I know, you'd think it was me, right? Mrs. Party-and-Friend pony."
-
40.
>"But even I knew when it was time to go our separate ways. We'd all grown up and grown apart."
-
41.
>"Applejack, she...just couldn't let go."
-
42.
>"I don't know, maybe it's better this way. I don't think she would have wanted to live to see Ponyville like this, so modern and...I dunno, impersonal."
-
43.
-
44.
-
45.
>"Princess Twilight, now there's a face I haven't seen in forever."
-
46.
>"She was the first to leave our circle of friends, and it made sense at the time."
-
47.
>"She had so many responsibilities and things she had to learn, we were all understanding."
-
48.
>"When she and Spike went back to Canterlot, we all looked at each other and said 'next year. She'll be back next year.'"
-
49.
>"But next year came and went, and the year after that, and the one after that."
-
50.
>"She stopped writing us after the fourth year. I sent a letter to her a few years ago, just to see if she would respond."
-
51.
>"I got a nicely-typed form letter with her signature in pretty purple ink."
-
52.
>"I guess being a Princess is more important than being friends..."
-
53.
-
54.
-
55.
>"Do I regret it?"
-
56.
>"...sometimes. When I'm all alone in my apartment and the bakery's closed, sometimes it hurts too much to remember how things used to be."
-
57.
-
58.
>"I walk everywhere, even at my age, and I see things changing all the time."
-
59.
>"Sometimes it feels like my entire world is dying around me, being replaced by the next generation of ponies."
-
60.
>"I guess that's what getting old is like, teehee."
-
61.
-
62.
>"But I know I wouldn't change a single thing, even if it meant we'd still stop being friends."
-
63.
>"When we were all together, and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were still in Canterlot, it was the best time I've ever had."
-
64.
>"It was the best time anyp0ny's ever had, I bet! So many parties, so many friends, so many good times."
-
65.
>"I treasure those times more than ever because they're over now."
-
66.
>"I wouldn't have ever known how important they are if they lasted forever."
-
67.
-
68.
>"So, hey, you wanna hear about Rarity's sister? She had a really good singing career before--"
-
69.
>"...oh, right, I understand. A reporter's a busy pony."
-
70.
>"Well, if you need anything else, just come on by."
-
71.
-
72.
>"Pinkie Pie's always here."
-
